Mark, drawing inspiration from his father's WWII experiences, is unwavering in his commitment to a robust national defense.

While Mark firmly supports a strong public education system, he believes parents, not the Federal Government, should have the final say in how to educate their children. Whether public, private, charter, or homeschool, families should have full freedom to choose what works best for their children. Every child should have an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in the career path they choose. Mark will fight for policies that focus on local control, and maximum flexibility, and ensure that students have the most educational opportunities available to them.

A society that fails to uphold its laws emboldens those who break them. Mark firmly believes that the foundation of a safe community is the unwavering enforcement of our laws. By holding criminals accountable and championing rigorous law enforcement, Mark is dedicated to ensuring that every North Carolinian can live, work, and thrive in a secure and peaceful environment.

A government that can't pay its bills is a government unworthy – and unable – to serve its people. That's why, since being elected to Congress, Mark has been a leading voice in the effort to cut the kind of excessive government spending that led to the record-high inflation we saw under the Biden Administration. He is determined to deliver legislation that will take the burden of higher costs off of American taxpayers, and is working to ensure the people of NC-08 have more take-home pay so that families can thrive again.
